    • GC-rich sequence elements recruit PRC2 in mammalian ES cells 

      Mendenhall, Eric M; Koche, Richard Patrick; Truong, Thanh; Zhou, Vicky Weijie; Issac, Biju; Chi, Andrew S.; Ku, Manching; Bernstein, Bradley E. (Public Library of Science, 2010)
      Polycomb proteins are epigenetic regulators that localize to developmental loci in the early embryo where they mediate lineage-specific gene repression. In Drosophila, these repressors are recruited to sequence elements ...

    • Genomewide Analysis of PRC1 and PRC2 Occupancy Identifies Two Classes of Bivalent Domains 

      Rheinbay, Esther; Endoh, Mitsuhiro; Mikkelsen, Tarjei S.; Nusbaum, Chad; Xie, Xiaohui; Adli, Mazhar; Kasif, Simon; Ptaszek, Leon M.; Koseki, Haruhiko; van Steensel, Bas; Ku, Manching; Koche, Richard Patrick; Mendenhall, Eric M; Presser, Aviva; Chi, Andrew S.; Cowan, Chad A.; Lander, Eric Steven; Bernstein, Bradley E. (Public Library of Science, 2008)
      In embryonic stem (ES) cells, bivalent chromatin domains with overlapping repressive (H3 lysine 27 tri-methylation) and activating (H3 lysine 4 tri-methylation) histone modifications mark the promoters of more than 2,000 ...

    • H2A.Z Landscapes and Dual Modifications in Pluripotent and Multipotent Stem Cells Underlie Complex Genome Regulatory Functions 

      Ku, Manching; Jaffe, Jacob D; Koche, Richard P; Rheinbay, Esther; Endoh, Mitsuhiro; Koseki, Haruhiko; Carr, Steven A; Bernstein, Bradley E (BioMed Central, 2012)
      Background: The histone variant H2A.Z has been implicated in nucleosome exchange, transcriptional activation and Polycomb repression. However, the relationships among these seemingly disparate functions remain obscure. ...
